New Canaan Line Buses to Substitute for Trains Late Fridays & Weekends

Buses will be substituted for trains for late night service on Friday nights and all Saturdays and Sundays on April 28 to May 1 and from May 5 through May 7.

Switching to buses will allow Metro-North crews to do further work on the tracks, the rail service announced. Service to and from all four stations on the branch will be affected: Glenbrook, Springdale, Talmadge Hill and New Canaan stations.

These are the weekends that buses will substitute for trains. They’ll be leaving 20 minutes earlier than the trains are scheduled to leave:
